The extraordinary story of the artists who propelled themselves to international fame in 1960s Los Angeles

Los Angeles, 1960: There was no modern art museum and there were few galleries, which is exactly what a number of daring young artists liked about it, among them Ed Ruscha, David Hockney, Robert Irwin, Bruce Nauman, Judy Chicago and John Baldessari. Freedom from an established way of seeing, making, and marketing art fueled their creativity, which in turn inspired the city. Today Los Angeles has four museums dedicated to contemporary art, around one hundred galleries, and thousands of artists. Here, at last, is the book that tells the saga of how the scene came into being, why a prevailing Los Angeles permissiveness, 1960s-style, spawned countless innovations, including Andy Warhol's first exhibition, Marcel Duchamp's first retrospective, Frank Gehry's mind-bending architecture, Rudi Gernreich's topless bathing suit, Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider , even the Beach Boys, the Byrds, the Doors, and other purveyors of a California style.

1960--LBJ vs. JFK vs. Nixon

It was the election that gave America “Camelot" and its tragic aftermath, a momentous contest in which three giants battled for the presidency. Award-winning author David Pietrusza does here for the 1960 presidential race what he did in 1920: The Year of the Six Presidents -a Kirkus Reviews best book. Until now, the most authoritative study of the 1960 election was Theodore White's The Making of the President, 1960 , but White didn't tell all. From Nixon's Iowa backseat blowup to the first televised debate to John Ehrlichman's spy missions on the Democrats, Pietrusza tells the rest of the story.
